The introduction of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) systems into vehicles make them more prone to cyber-security attacks. Such attacks may impact on vehicles capability and, consequently, on the safety of drivers, passengers. Indeed, the strong integration between dedicated ICT devices, the physical environment, and the networking infrastructure, leads to consider modern vehicles as Cyber-Physical Systems.

This workshop aims at providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results, experiences, and products in the automotive domain from both a theoretical and practical perspective.
Its ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating innovative solutions for the Cyber-Physical Systems with a particular focus on the new generation of vehicles.
Indeed, the automotive domain presents several challenges in the fields of vehicular network, Internet of Things, Privacy, as well as, Safety and Security methods and approaches.
The workshop aims at presenting the advancement on the state of art in these fields and spreading their adoption in several scenarios involving main stockholders of the automotive domain.

The list of topics includes (but it is not limited to):

Architecture, design, and implementation of safe and secure Cyber-Physical Systems

Description. CANDY CREAM is an exploit that works on an Android In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system connected to the CAN bus of a car.
CANDY CREAM first exploits a found vulnerability to remotely access the Android infotainment system. The exploit is then injected in the Infotainment system to attack the instrument cluster of the car. In particular, it performs the following actions against an instrument cluster:
